$20 / $15 / Free for teens & WWU students with ID
Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber — Violin Sonata XVI in G minor "Passacaglia"
Eugène Ysaÿe — Selected works
Niccolò Paganini — Selected works
Between engagements in Ireland and Carmel, CA, Baroque violinist Edwin Huizinga comes to Bellingham to perform some of the most dramatic pieces ever composed for solo violin. The program will include Bach's Chaconne, Biber's Passacaglia, and works by Ysaye and Paganini.
Huizinga brings a fresh approach to Early Music. His wide-ranging experience performing Celtic, fiddle, rock, improv, classical, and other music for violin enriches his playing on the gut-strung Baroque violin. He has played with most of the well-known Baroque ensembles, and was a co-founder of ACRONYM, the young Baroque string band dedicated to "giving modern premieres of the wild instrumental music of the seventeenth century." His technique can take him anywhere and his vocabulary of interpretation brings depth and freshness to music you may have heard before, but never like this.
Huizinga's recital is part of BMC's Night Beat series. Tickets for Night Beat are $20 general, $15 seniors, on sale at Village Books, Food Co-op locations, online and at the door. Take a teen for free!
